Why this replacement? md or org should both work right? Or am I missing
something?

I think it already has this.

I'm trying to avoid putting too much in README because it is already
documented in lentic and the other sources -- although, its clearly not
easy for people to find these.
For the next version, I will write some local tools to generate HTML
from source. Then I can expand the README to just point to those. And,
yes, an easy to find "quick-start" chapter would be good.
